consulate in benghazi was just the beginning of a terrifying night for the americans inside. libyan officials told us their forces helped evacuate 32 americans out of the consulate as attacks are torched and stormed the compound. i libyan commander told us a convoy of 22 vehicles, two of them armored, raced from the u.s. consulate down this road to a safe house a mile and a half away. but the safe house they fled to, which was supposed to be in a secret location, had become a target. so this is where they were attacking from. just as the u.s. extraction team of commandos arrived to take the americans to the airport, the house came under heavy fire. it was intense, deadly, and accurate. everywhere you look on this rooftop there's evidence of what must have been a ferocious fight. there's damage from automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and even mortars. the precise mortar strikes on the house suggest those who launched them knew exactly where to aim. clearly, americans fighting back from this rooftop were hit. our escort, lib and commander abdu salam, gathered two bloo
